Farrhana Bhatt (born March 15, 1997)[1] is an Indian actress, model and social peace activist who primarily works in Hindi films, television and on streaming platforms. She is best known for her role as Jasmeet in Laila Majnu (2018) and for participating in Colors TV's reality show Bigg Boss 19 (2025) where she finished as the first runner-up.[2]
Early and personal life[edit | edit source]
Bhatt was born on March 15, 1997, in Srinagar, India and hails from a Muslim family.[3]
In November 2025, a legal controversy erupted concerning statements made about Bhatt by Roshan Garry Bhinder, the aunt of Bigg Boss 19 co-contestant Amaal Mallik, where Bhinder referred to Bhatt using the term "terrorist" on the YouTube channel Fifafooz.[4] Bhatt's family initiated legal action against Bhinder, Fifafooz and YouTube India and characterized the comments as "defamatory and communally charged," expressing deep distress over the "outrageous and baseless allegation." The legal notice demanded the immediate removal of the controversial video, a public apology from the involved parties, and ₹1 crore in damages for the alleged reputational and emotional harm caused to Bhatt.[5]
Activism[edit | edit source]
In her capacity as a Commonwealth Youth Council executive, she organized and led a seminar and cultural programme in New Delhi, India, on the occasion of the 31st World Disability Day, focusing on "Amplifying the Leadership of Youth with Disabilities."[6]
